Listener Feedback and Questions (100 min.)
- AAA – You guys know more about 3rd party TransFormers more than me because I’m mainly a 1st party collector. I only have GigaPower due to Lotus recommendation and I have MPP-10 (and 10B) because I saw it in person from a TF group meetup. On with my questions.
- Who makes better Superion “FansToys” or “ZetaToys”? My preferences are fun, not overly complex transformation, and great plastic/paint quality, so which of these two companies fits me?
- There are so many different choices these days with 3rd party stuff. X-Transbot just released Gravestone (aka MotorMaster) and it looks fantastic but do you guys like what they are offering or do you prefer FansToys Roadking 2020 Reissue or DX9Toys Capone?
- IronTrans IR-V01 STAR SWORD (aka StarSaber) just release overseas in Asia, do you know what kind of reputation IronTrans has? Are their product solid?
- Looks like it is a great time to be a 3rd party combiner fans. We have so many choices and options out there. These companies are asking for $350-$400 to complete the entire team. Any suggestion or advice you guys can give would be much appreciated.
